Tip #13

• Don't under estimate the value of a family doctor. A family doctor is able to be your ally and advocate when requiring specialist care and referrals. Along with your symptoms he or she is able to speak to your attitude and commitment to life. If you are having a hard time expressing yourself consider using a friend as a sounding board to troubleshoot a different way of saying the same thing. When it is necessary ask a social worker for assistance as an intermediary when there has been prolonged tension or misunderstanding.
